NBA trades and deals

Now that the NBA lockout is over, I wonder what's going to happen to all the big name players who are free agents or going to be free agents in 2012? Is Chris Paul going to be traded before the trade deadline? What about Dwight Howard? I wonder where he would go? All I know is this, it's going to get pretty sticky because for all the contenders who are just 1 player away from winning the championship will be going after these key players. Miami could sure use a great center in Tyson Chandler. I'm sure Nene can be use for a team that needs an offensive big man. This season will be an interesting one that's for sure. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Keep you guys updated on the scoops.

 

Knocking the Penn's Down

In this weeks blog I really wanted to talk about Joe Frazier's death, but sadly this whole Penn State sex scandal is ridiculously hard not to talk about. This is not even a sports issue. This scandal lead to the firing of JOE PATERNO whose been coaching Penn State since 1964. It's sad the way his career ended at Penn State, but did he deserve it? ABSOLUTELY yes he deserved it.  I mean if one of your assistant coaches walks up to you and tells you he seen another assistant sexually abusing a 10 year old boy in the shower room what would you do?  You would go to the authorities right. But no, this man went to go tell the administrators and never went to the authorities. Freaking sad. The administrators were later arrested for perjury telling the court they were never informed about the incident. Bottom line is this, Joe Pa messed up by not taking any action on solving the problem and now karma came back to get him. Not only him but also Jerry Sandusky, the culprit, and basically the whole Penn State University. Still sucks Joe Pa ended the way he did though.

Fantasy Football

I think fantasy football was one of the smartest things that the sports world had came up with. Basically you yourself becomes the manager of your own team and you can choose the players that are available to you to be on your team. Each player will receive points for their performances in the actual games that they are playing in. All the points add up and your team needs more than the other team in order for you to win. What I hate the most is when you draft players so high that were expected to have good seasons, but they're really struggling and having an awful year. That's what's happening to me now with Chris Johnson. The man held out of training camp to get a pay raise and now that he got what he wanted, he's not producing on the field. That affects me and makes my chances of winning that much less and it gets frustrating. Chris Johnson, is a big fantasy bust this year!

Tebow Nation

I honestly don't know why there are so many people that has doubts about Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Yes, his mechanics are not the greatest and yes he doesn't have great accuracy with his throws but you know what, Tebow is an athlete who hates to lose. To be frank with everyone, as long as he's winning football games, who cares about his mechanics and his accuracy. This man knew how to win in college and I know that it doesn't mean anything in the NFL on what he did in college, but still this man has the intangibles. I'm rooting for his success and so should the rest of the country!! Let's stop criticizing his problems and see how he can get better as a quarterback in the NFL.

He's done

As much as I love and admire Donovan McNabb for what he has done over the years, his career as a starting quarterback in the NFL is over. According to sources, rookie quarterback Christian Ponder will get his first start on Sunday. This is the second time McNabb has been benched and he's not getting any better nor younger. At 35 years old McNabb, a former franchise player for the Philadelphia Eagles, has to now accept the fact that he's no longer a front runner on a team's wish list.  He'll still receive calls from other teams during the off season, but as a back-up. Now that Minnesota decides to turn to the future so soon by starting their 12th overall pick in this years draft out of Florida State, there's no way hell that Minnesota goes back to McNabb. He'll become a free agent and from there we'll see what happens to him. I know one thing for sure, he won't be starting for any team anytime soon. But as a sports believer, he'll still go down as a Hall of Fame NFL quarterback.

C'mon really??

For all those people who loves to watch basketball I assume you folks love to watch the pros. Well unfortunately that's not going to happen anytime soon all because of this dumb and insane NBA "Lockout."  I swear if I made every penny for those owners who wanted more money, I'll be almost rich by now. According to David Stern, NBA commissioner, he wants the owners and players to split 50% even on the money that's coming in each year which is ridiculous I believe. The players are the ones busting their a*#es on the court, they should receive more than 50%. It's not the players fault we have this lockout, it's the greedy owners.

Is Luck really the answer?

For many of us who watches the NFL on weekly basis knows which teams are in the running for the #1 overall draft pick next year. Andrew Luck, quarterback for Stanford and a college phenom, is projected to be the #1 overall pick next year. Supposed to be the best quarterback to enter since Peyton Manning. Now I must ask for teams like Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, and Minnesota Vikings, teams that have pathetic records, would they really tank their season for Luck? I would say no they shouldn't. As great as Luck is believed to be oneday in the NFL, it takes just more than one player to win a championship. When a team has the worst record in the league, that means that the team is more than JUST one player away from winning the Super Bowl. :)
